Introduction
Thank you for purchasing a StarTech.com KVM extender. This product allows a
computer to control a host system from a remote location at a distance of up to 984
feet (300 meters). For ease of installation, this product uses standard Category 5, 5E, or
6 network cabling that ts easily into almost any existing network infrastructure. For
added versatility, the KVM extender supports either PS/2 or USB computer interfaces.
Console support is provided using standard USB and VGA connectors.
Features
• Can be used with a single computer or connected to an existing KVM switch
• Easy installation using industry-standard UTP network cable
• Intuitive hotkey commands
• Supports auto-switching between host and remote users or dedicated control
• USB computers are supported at the host and remote locations (USB keyboard and
mouse required for remote console)
System Requirements
• 1 x StarTech.com integrated KVM cable for each, the host (included) and remote
(optional) computer connections. If necessary, longer cables are available,
StarTech.com ID: SVECONx (PS/2), SVECONUSx (USB)
• Unshielded Category 5/5e/6 twisted pair (UTP) straight-through network cable
terminated at each end with RJ-45 connectors (if using surface cabling)
OR
Unshielded Category 5/5e/6 twisted pair (UTP) straight-through network cable
terminated at each end in a wall-mounted outlet, with a standard Category 5/5e/6
patch cable, at both locations (if using premises cabling)
NOTE: The total length of cable between the Host and Remote Units cannot exceed
984 feet (300 meters), including patch cables (if used). Category 5e and 6 cabling is
compatible with this product and may improve performance.
NOTE: Long cable lengths between the Host and Remote Units may adversely aect
image quality at high resolutions and refresh rates. If you need to run your remote
displays at high resolutions and frequencies, use as little cabling between locations as
possible and avoid practices such as “coiling” unused cable in a ceiling.

Connecting Your KVM Extender
Preparing Your Site
Before you can install the product, you need to prepare your site.
1. Determine where the Host computer will be located and set up the computer.
2. Determine where the console devices (mouse, keyboard, monitor) will be located
and place them appropriately.
3. a) If you are using surface cabling, ensure you have enough Category 5 unshielded
twisted pair (UTP) network cabling to connect the Host Unit to the Remote Unit’s
location, and that each end is terminated with a RJ-45 connector. The cabling should
not go through any networking equipment (i.e. router, switch).
OR
b) If you are using premises cabling, ensure that the Category 5 unshielded twisted
pair (UTP) network cabling between the Host Unit and the Remote Unit has been
properly terminated in a wall outlet in each location and there is a patch cable long
enough to connect the Remote Unit and the Host Unit to their respective outlets.
The cabling should not go through any networking equipment (i.e. router, switch).
